Looking at all the content inside this post, it would be helpful for some to also look at my new post about a TDS7404:

https://www.eevblog.com/forum/repair/boot-problem-on-tektronix-tds7404-scope/msg3374538/#msg3374538

After a lot of script problem, i'm back to having a booting TDS7404 without the correct S/N  |O

 today i feeded my NVram with external +4.6v on pin5 and pin 17 to GND.

then i lifted the powercap and took out the old battery.
drilled two holes at the right place in the powercap cover and attached a CR2477 socket. i had to reverse it so it would fit next to the NLX bus connector on the Powerpc baord and after swapping the wiring arround, clicked it back in place on the NVram.
the battery socket en powercap cover look ed as if it is one pieces and the total reworked cap fits ok under the aluminium Intel board frame.

reconnected everything and ready to power-up...

ok ready for booting for the first time.
will the scope fully startup??
-windows xp booted fine.
-tekscope software started and ran to the end ( the 8 digit display nicely showed the flashing "-" )
-my error was gone
-my options were empty. (was this because of the corruption)

i am still curious how to check if the fact. service call. info is still in.

Does anyone know if there is a way to trash the contents on the Dallas DS1245 chip on the PPC board?
This one has a PDIP, and I'd rather not remove the chip if it can be done from the console port.
I'm replacing this board in a TDS7104 and I need to get rid of the serial # and key.
Yes you can, just copy a empty file inside the NVRAM space.

I have made some scripts that make this possible. best to look at my repair post, scripts are available over there.

A 24C16 will work fine.
Thanks,the error 521 disappeared now,I have made some simple test and the test results seems to be acceptable

You're welcome, that's great! Does it meet it's BW spec?
I dont have a 1GHz sinewave signal, but I believe the BW spec will no be a big issue, instead, maybe the dc voltage error is more obviously.

And now I find another problem ,each time I shutdown and then restart the scope,  the scope goback to default status(before I shutdown it,I open 4 channel display,and after reboot,only CH1 is displayed. And each time after it restart, ch2 baseline offset is quite big,I have to run spc eachtime to make it right.
Seems each time I restart the scope,it loads the factory default. I attach my bootfile here, does anyone know what's the reason?

Hello. My TDS 7104 presents the same 521 error. I bought some used X24165 chips, and try to replace it.
My English is terrible. Hope you can understand me. :-DD

Hi i would be carefull with pulling these eeproms. Inside are your factory cals stored and your scope needs tobe re-calibrated for sure. nowadays no FAS is available anymore and equiptment like a fluke 9500B needs to be part of your workbench or you will get yourself into an extra problems. $$$

is the rest of your scope ok bohrzqc . post log here.

After replaced the X24165 chip, the 521 error still exists. I wonder whether only replacing the X24165 chip is OK or some cal data should be written to the chip. Jay upload the cal data of his 7104. So the cal data should be written to the chip?
I bought some AT24C16B chips, and plan to replace tomorrow.
Maybe I solved the baseline offset is reset to the factory default. First delete the calConStatus = cc_init(2) in the boot file, save the file. Restart the scope. Add the calConStatus = cc_init(2) to the original place again, and save the file, restart the scope.
However, this method is useless for another 7104. Maybe this due to the X24165 chip. Not sure. :palm:

Yes. If you use my cal data, the error should go away, but won't be valid for obvious reasons.

No.
calConStatus = cc_init(1) cannot settle the problem of the offset of the baseline, only can reset the cal data to factory values. I think resetting the factory cal values is useless. My method is not always effective. Maybe we should wait for expert Jay or TiN to settle the problem.

Hi, thank you a lot for this forum.
I recently got a tds7154 from someone who find it.
I had to change the bios battery, find an hdd, install windows 2000 and the drivers. 
Now, Tekscope launch but I can't see any trace, so I tried with windows XP and got the same problem. It takes measurement (we can see the range adapt with the input while clicking on autoset) but the trace are not displayed.

Have anyone an idea of what it could be?

:)

Looks like the video driver. Make sure it is an Asiliant driver.

@ludow, don t run the unit opened without a big fan blowing over the ACQ and or PSU. Normally with case closed the airflow is directed over the boards. with open case board run too hot.

Does anyone know the right adress for the eeprom asumming it is this X24165 (written in earlier post here)  also for the TDS7404 ?
Just nice to know, where is it exactly located on the ACQ board?

I'd rather not (yet) remove the chip if it can be done from the console port or GPIB after after builing a tool for it to export and import content.
I want to get closer to the error where all onces as the checksum of 0xffffffff are stored. that is not ok.

Code: [Select]
extd chksum failed, stored = 0xffffffff calc = 0xdb766060
0x16975c0 (tShell): cc_init: extended bank17 chksum failed, NOT reset to factory

Jay do you know the starting adress?

Hi Guys!

After long time I wanted to use my (several times successfullz repaired) TDS7104 again.

However, trouble happened:

I turned it on and the internal LCD stayed white, the Frontpanel all lit, but it still seemed to boot properly. After some time of waiting, the relays clicked and I could operate with the frontpanel the probe, e.g. pressing the 1MOhm/50Ohm button actuated the relay, I could turn on/off channels, ...

1198462-0

Of course I attached an external screen to the PC VGA port). When powering on there was no signal detected, after windows booted, the screen detected a 640x400 pixel sync signal, but the screen keeps blank (tested the screen, it works and I used the same for installing windows XP before).

I thought it was a smart idea to remove the PC CMOS Bios battery (on the SF810 mainboard). However, since that point the PC scope application does not start anymore. The 7 segment display shows a blinking "-" sign and the frontpanel does not react anymore.

Having had issues with the power supply before I of course checked the power supply and all voltage rails show proper voltages.

Does anybody have a clue what I can look for?
Without VGA signal I am really clueless how I can access that guy to check a few things.

Best regards,

Kai
Edit: Tried to boot from CD. It boots, but still no display content :(

Uodate: now the scope application boots again and frontpanel is reactive, still internal and external screens are dead.
Dors anybody know how to clear cmos? I removed the battery already for 1h with no external power applied, but that does not seem to help.

I left the TDS7104 unpowered and without CMOS battery over night.
Result: The PC board does not boot at all anymore, also the push power button on the frontpanel does not power the scope on anymore. When I bridge the power on jumper, it turns on, als the CPU fan rotates, probing some caps on the PC board shows nice expected voltages.

All power supplies are present, also standby voltage.

I am very close to say: I am done with the scope, looking how often I already repaird stuff.
Anybody close to Germany wants a nice neverending hobby project? :-)


Edit: The Debug console of PPC seems dead, when I power on with the power_on jumper. The 7 segment led shows an 8 permanently.

Probed several signals on the NLX riser card.

PWOK (input to NLX) is signalling, that power is OK
#FPReset is high, so the NLX board is not kept permanently in RESET
Voltages are all present
The SOFT_ON/OFF# signal is correctly going low, when the frontpanel power pushbutton is pressed
PS_ON# output from NLX goes correctly LOW

I guess, I need a new NLX board :-(

On Saturday, the CMOS battery died on my second 7104.
It blanked the TDS7104 screen and kept me from getting into BIOS.
Battery was dated 1995.

Replaced battery.

Access the VGA connector in back with separate monitor.
You need to install KILLCMOS application on floppy MS-DOS start-up disk.
I used a 2SHD 1.44MB High Density floppy on a XP OS machine.
When formatting disk there is a check for create MS-DOS disk.

Online I downloaded a KILLCMOS program. (https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/killcmos.html)
Extracted file and installed on floppy.

Boot from the floppy type dir in the command line.
Find and and run KILLCMOS .

 CTRL Alt Delete
 F2 Setup
 Your BIOS is now accessible.
 Change config of BIOS to default settings.
 Change Display to PCI
 Save and restart oscilloscope.
